The ADDIE model is a systematic instructional design model that consists of 5 phases: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. In the Analysis phase, the learning problem and audience are identified. In Design, the learning objectives and delivery methods are determined. Development involves creating the instructional materials. Implementation delivers the materials to learners. Formative evaluation occurs throughout the process, and summative evaluation assesses the effectiveness of the instruction.

3. What is ADDIE?
A systematic approach (model) for developing
effective instruction.
One of the most popular models in instructional
design.
Outcome of each step feeds into the
subsequent step.
Evaluation is ongoing throughout each layer of
design.

5. Analysis
During analysis, the designer identifies the
learning problem, the goals and objectives, the
audience’s needs, existing knowledge, and any
other relevant characteristics. Analysis also
considers the learning environment, any
constraints, the delivery options, and the
timeline for the project.

6. Some questions to consider
Who is the audience?
What are audience characteristics?
Are there learning constraints?
What is desired mode of delivery?
Is there a timeline for completion?
Are there specific pedagogical considerations?

7. Design
A systematic process of specifying learning
objectives. Detailed storyboards and
prototypes are often made, and the look and
feel, graphic design, user-interface and content
is determined here.

8. Design
What are the learning objectives?
What will the delivery look like?
What types on supplemental materials will be
included?
What topic(s) will each LO cover?
Will all LOs look the same?

9. Development
The actual creation (production) of the content
and learning materials based on the Design
phase.

10. Implementation
During implementation, the plan is put into
action and a procedure for training the learner
and teacher is developed. Materials are
delivered or distributed to the student group.
After delivery, the effectiveness of the training
materials is evaluated.

11. Implementation
Trial run of the materials with feedback from
learner.
What works? does not work?
What needs to be added?
Other ways it can be improved.

12. Evaluation
This phase consists of (1) formative and (2)
summative evaluation. Formative evaluation is
present in each stage of the ADDIE process.
Summative evaluation consists of tests
designed for criterion-related referenced items
and providing opportunities for feedback from
the users. Revisions are made as necessary.

13. Evaluation
Formative evaluation – ongoing.
What changes were made after trial
implementation period? (peer review).
Did it impact your writing?
What else would you like to learn?
Summative evaluation
What would you like to know about the LO once
students begin using it to improve writing?

Take notes so that you can include specific
information in your reflection paper.
